Two-time Olympic gold medalist and championship boxer Claressa Shields sits down with Lou Williams and Spank Horton for an unfiltered conversation about boxing, legacy, confidence, womanhood, and life outside the ring.

Claressa opens up about her latest victory, becoming a 21-time world champion, building her legacy in women’s boxing, and why she believes her accomplishments speak for themselves. She also gets candid about the business of boxing, why some of the biggest fights never happen, fighters being afraid to take risks, and the challenges of being one of the sport’s most dominant stars.

The conversation goes beyond boxing as Claressa talks about being recognized as both a fighter and a woman, embracing her femininity and beauty while maintaining the mindset that made her one of the best boxers in the world. She also discusses sparring with men, her confidence inside the ring, her love of music and her journey into rap, giving back to her hometown of Flint, Michigan, and much more.

Plus, Claressa takes on questions from the crew and gets put on the spot in the Lounge.
